Monarchs Watch: Day 11

If you want something done right, call Mama. 'Cause Mama ain't afraid of you.

After the Monarchs championship banners went missing at Arco Arena, Ailene Voisin of the Sacramento Bee contacted someone who would give her a straight answer: Colleen Maloof, the matriarch of the Maloofs.

The mystery is, no one seems to know who did it. Bee columnist Ailene Voisin on Friday approached Colleen Maloof and asked why the banners are missing.

"I have no idea what happened," the visibly miffed matriarch told Voisin. "Why would anyone do something so stupid? I asked Gavin (Maloof) to talk to Geoff (Petrie) and find out what happened, but Geoff didn't know anything about it, either.

"But I don't care who made the decision; those banners are going back up. This is ridiculous."

End of discussion. Get those banners back up there. And don't take "I don't know" for an answer. That stuff didn't walk off by itself. (Although I like Queenie's theory of a Yolanda Griffith midnight raid.)
